[QUOTE="keista, post: 433254, member: 11965"] First I'd like to say that while jennd23's and Snowenne's descriptions of "meltdowns" do sound similar, I view them as VASTLY different. [B]Snowenne[/B] in my opinion your situation sound very "typical" You wanted XYZ he wanted PDQ, you rule, he tantrums. Oh, a never ending battle it is. Choose them wisely, and look for ways to bargain, find his motivators on the not so important ones. Think outside the box because he does. [B] jennd23[/B] This totally sounds like "mood swings" not necessarily Bipolar, though. How long has he been on these medications? Did he do this BEFORE the medications? If not, then that's where I'd g looking first. been there done that 2x now, and although very aware that medications could cause the problems, I still think it took me too long to notice the second time around. If he's always done that, then maybe the medications are just not working right and/or there is some sort of mood disorder going on. He's still young so it is tough to pin it down. DD1's psychiatrist keeps bringing up Bipolar, and she has "markers" for it, but just does not really fit "textbook" Now that we're weaning off Paxil, she still has the "markers" but the behaviors that would indicate looking for a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis are all going away (knock on wood, fingers crossed, salt over the shoulder.)
